I wish I wrote this

Hey Penfriends.

Something happened in our test branch yesterday that made me stop dead in my tracks. You know that moment when you read something and think "Damn, I wish I wrote that"?

Well... technically, I kind of did. And that's what I need to show you today.

The Great AI Writing Experiment

Below are two pieces of content about virtual meeting fatigue. The first is from our current AI (which is already pretty good). The second is from our new tone replication system that's about to drop.

Same topic. Same facts. Very different vibe.

Exhibit A: Penfriend.ai

Not bad, right? Professional, clear, informative. This is what good AI content looks like today. This is raw Penfriend.

But then this happened...

Exhibit B: Penfriend.ai + My echo

Yeah. That just happened. And honestly, I’m a little scared about how good this is.

Let's Break Down What You Just Saw

Notice how the second version:

• Opens with a pop culture reference ("Holy screen fatigue, Batman!")

• Uses conversational asides ("professionally, of course")

• Nails the casual-but-expert tone ("Here's the tea:")

• Includes personality-driven metaphors ("digital vampires")

• Maintains authenticity while delivering value

• Actually sounds like I wrote it.

And here's the kicker - it didn't take hours of prompt engineering or endless tweaking. I just chose my person echo when asking it to write the blog.

Why This Matters

Think about how much time you spend right now:

• Editing AI content to sound "more human"

• Trying to maintain consistent voice across writers

• Wrestling with prompts to get the tone right

• Explaining your brand voice to new team members

Now imagine if you could just... not.

What's Next

This isn't just a cool demo - it's about to be your new reality. This Black Friday (Nov 29th), we're rolling out the biggest update in Penfriend's history, including:

• This exact tone replication system

• Batch content creation (up to 20 articles at once)

• My $36M-generating BoFu templates

Plus, we're dropping prices below pre-launch rates for Black Friday (30% off everything) and giving free plan users 3 articles per month, forever.

Head over here to see the whole intro output from Penny.

Let's make AI content that actually sounds like you.

Keep creating amazing things,

P.S. I'm still kind of in shock about how good that second version is. And yes, this entire email was written by me, not AI. Though soon, you might not be able to tell the difference... 😉
